7. Refer to the Route Redistribution table to set the types of routes that can be used by OSPF.
Select the + Add Row button to populate the table. Set the Route Type used to define the
redistributed route. Options include connected, kernal and static.
Select the Metric Type option to define the exterior metric type (1 or 2) used with the route
redistribution. Select the Metric option to define route metric used with the redistributed route.
8. Use the OSPF Network table to define networks (IP addresses) to connect using dynamic
routes.
Select the + Add Row button to populate the table. Add the IP address and mask of the
Network(s) participating in OSPF. Additionally, define the OSPF area (IP address) to which the
network belongs.
9. Set an OSPF Default Route Priority (1 - 8,000) as the priority of the default route learnt from
OSPF.
10. Select the Area Settings tab.
An OSPF Area contains a set of routers exchanging Link State Advertisements (LSAs) with
others in the same area. Areas limit LSAs and encourage aggregate routes.
Number of Routes Use the spinner control to set the maximum number of OSPN routes permitted. The
available range is from 1 - 4,294,967,295.
Retry Count Set the maximum number of retries (OSPF resets) permitted before the OSPF process is
shut down. The available range is from 1 - 32. The default setting is 5.
Retry Time Out Set the duration (in seconds) the OSPF process remains off before initiating its next retry.
The available range is from 1 - 3,600 seconds. The default is 60 seconds.
Reset Time Set the reset time (in seconds) that, when exceeded, changes the retry count is zero. The
available range is from 1 - 86,400. The default is 360 seconds.
Originate Select this option to make the default route a distributed route. This setting is disabled by
default.
Always Enabling this setting continuously maintains a default route, even when no routes appear in
the routing table. This setting is disabled by default.
Metric Type Select this option to define the exterior metric type (1 or 2) used with the default route.
Route Metric Select this option to define route metric used with the default route. OSPF uses path cost as
its routing metric. It’s defined by the speed (bandwidth) of the interface supporting a given
route.
